EAST VILLAGE—The Verameat boutique is opening its doors this Saturday, July 2 with a fun-filled day of discounts and gratis beverages. Starting at 1pm, shop for dog skeleton knuckledusters and fried-chicken-chomping-dinosaur rings while sipping on complimentary smoothies. Then from 6pm to 9pm, go crazy with free wine, Dino cookies (sounds intriguing) and 25% off all purchases. [Racked Inbox; Previously]

THE INTERNET—If you can't wait until the next crazy Calypso sample sale at 260 Fifth, you're in luck. Calypso is bringing the sale to you by offering an extra 50% off on sale items online. Just enter the straightforward code "sample sale" at checkout. [Racked Inbox]

THE TWITTERSPHERE— An impostor has created a fake Ralph Lauren Twitter account (@RalphLaurenUSA), but the most egregious part of this ruse is that the tweets are just really boring. [Racked]
